Jenny Kuo

Jenny, general manager of JOYEAR Group, is guiding the 40-year-old construction firm through steady transformation, bringing a humanistic and aesthetic perspective to the work. In the face of labour and materials shortages, she has advanced precast construction methods, BIM, ERP and AI systems, and published an ESG sustainability report. The New Taipei City Art Museum, which 久年 served as general contractor for, won the Taiwan Architecture Award, and the firm is jointly undertaking Taipei Twin Towers—Taiwan's second-tallest building—with the C1 tower's topping-out ceremony scheduled for Q4 2026. For Jenny, the greatest reward from this project has been building cross-disciplinary consensus within a highly complex integrated structural system.

Also a Peking opera performer, Jenny enjoys weaving together modern construction craft and traditional feng shui philosophy. Deeply inspired by the resilience of figures such as violinist Itzhak Perlman, she firmly believes that architecture and culture are inseparable. In business, she holds to the Socratic position of "I know that I know nothing"—letting time do the talking. She is currently launching the Sanxia project Joyear Cloudscape and laying the groundwork for the Joyear Charity Foundation, as she guides her team steadily toward a broader international horizon.
